LinkedIn leans on AI to do the work of job hunting

LinkedIn leans on AI to do the work of job hunting

Reading Time: 3 minutes

The zeitgeist in technology today is all about artificial intelligence, so in an effort to drive more users and usage, LinkedIn on Thursday took the wraps off a raft of new services powered by AI.

The company is betting big on AI and people’s appetite to see it threaded through experiences on the platform, and is bringing tools that can do everything from helping people look for and then apply for jobs (yes, there’s a tool to write the whole application and cover letter for you), to surfacing relevant learning material (about AI, naturally) and searching all of LinkedIn to find what you need more quickly.

We’ll run through some of the bigger features that LinkedIn is rolling out below, but first let’s take a moment to note a couple of key things about LinkedIn’s focus on AI right now:

First, as we have pointed out before, this is not LinkedIn’s first rodeo with AI. The company has been threading the tech into its products from its earliest days, and you could argue that there is very little that AI is not touching at the company. 

The big change that LinkedIn does not want to miss is the one that has swept the rest of the tech world: The wave of AI-powered tools aimed at helping ordinary people do human-centric tasks.

LinkedIn has already been active in that sense. It launched a suite of OpenAI-powered tools in October 2023, adding reading and writing tools one month later, as well as tools to help with writing profiles, recruitment ads and company pages.

Second, LinkedIn has relatively lower expectations to meet than some of its peers. Big social players like Meta or X have found themselves facing different degrees of existential crises over the explosion of interest in generative AI. How will they respond to it? How will they lead it? Should they? Perhaps more directly, how do they make sure that the new-new-thing doesn’t cut their businesses out of the next stage of growth?

LinkedIn, of course, is a part of Microsoft, which has a 49% stake in OpenAI, alongside its own substantial AI efforts. Effectively, this takes the pressure of innovating or investing in innovators off LinkedIn itself, leaving it to concentrate on how it can build or integrate tools for its own uses. 

Below is a run-down of some of the new features: 

Job searches and job applications: We’re getting a new way to search for jobs using conversational prompts. It still relies on the data and the job actually existing, of course. For example, finding jobs in journalism in London that pay a salary of at least £100,000 may not turn up much, no matter how many ways you phrase it.

Once you have found jobs and want to apply, you can now generate a cover letter or a letter of introduction, and the AI will also give you a further review of your résumé and other work you’re doing. 

Learning personalisation. LinkedIn continues to be bullish on its video-based learning platform, and it appears to have found a strong current among users who need to skill up in AI. Cohen said that traffic for AI-related courses — which include modules on technical skills as well as non-technical ones such as basic introductions to generative AI — has increased by 160% over last year. 

You can be sure that LinkedIn is pushing its search algorithms to tap into the interest, but it’s also boosting its content with AI in another way. 

For Premium subscribers, it is piloting what it describes as ‘expert advice, powered by AI.’ Tapping into expertise from well-known instructors such as Alicia ReeceAnil Gupta, Dr. Gemma Leigh Roberts and Lisa Gates, LinkedIn says its AI-powered coaches will deliver responses personalized to users, as a ‘starting point.’ 

These will, in turn, also appear as personalized coaches that a user can tap while watching a LinkedIn Learning course.

The third big area LinkedIn is leaning heavily on AI is search. If you already use LinkedIn in any way, you’ll know that this is very long overdue, as search has been one of the most neglected parts of the experience on the platform, especially as the platform has grown. 

LinkedIn says it will provide more detail on the new search experience in the coming weeks, but expect to see a lot more conversational search as a simpler alternative or replacement for its current search experience, which uses keywords, network distance, geography and other parameters but never feels like it’s giving you the complete answer. 

Alongside all this, LinkedIn is expanding availability of Recruiter 2024, adding more tools for marketers, and introducing enhanced, premium company pages for small businesses.
